CHURN.v

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,978, dated March22, 1887.

Application tiled December 23, 1886. Serial No. QQQAOI.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that .l, JEREMIAH KELLER, of Sandusk y, in the county ofErie and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements inGhurns; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, andexact description thereof, reference being bad to the are companyingdrawings, which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in churns.

The invention consists in the peculiar mechanism employed forpartiallyrotating parallel dashers in opposite directions, and in the peculiarconstruction, arrangement, and con1hination of the various parts, all asmore fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved churn. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of the operating parts removed from the churn-body.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Arepresents a churn-body provided with a removable top or cover, B, andarranged to he rigidly secured upon such churn, when in use, by books orother suitable devices (not shown) for the purpose.

C are two vertical and parallel shafts or dash-rods,properlyjournaledthrough the head B, their upper ends finding hearings in the standardsI), rising from the cover, and which also carry the actuatingdeverE,fulcrnmed between their upper ends, as shown.

F is a how rigidly secured to the lever E, and to each end of this howis secured one end of two flexible straps, G, the opposite endsof suchstraps being rigidly secured to the vertical shafts O.

H is another flexible strap, the ends of which are secured to thevertical shaft-s. These flexi- (No model) hie straps are so connected tothe shafts or dashrods that as thelever E is oscillated such shafts arecompelled to partially rotate in their hearings, the strap H being woundfirst upon one shaft and then upon the other, and aiding the straps G inrotatin the said shafts, as will be readily understood. To the lowerends of the shafts Care secured the perforated heaters or dash-plates I.

In practice, the parts being arranged to opcrate substantially in themanner shown, it will he found that in the oscillation of/the lever theheaters will be partially rotated in opposite directions, describing, asnear as can he, in their movement a semicircle, and that this willnecessarily continually agitate the churning, forcing the cream throughthe perforations and eii'ectually separating the fatty globules from themilk.

I am aware of the patent issued to I. Van Gorder, June 27, 1832, andmake no claim to the construction shown therein as forming part of myinvention, but attach importance to my independent strap H, which aidsthe straps G in rotating the shafts O.

W'ha-t I claim as my invention is- The combination, with the parallelvertical shafts carrying heaters, of the standards D, lever E, fulcrumedthereon, how F on said le ver, the flexible strap H, having its endssecured to said shafts, and the flexible straps G, each having one endconnected to said how, and the opposite ends attached one to each ofsaid shaft-s, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
